Hi,

My 6 year son started learning Table tennis. Can you please tell me what kind of practice he should do..?

Hi Parth,

The main thing is to give him plenty of hitting with control.

Find ways to entertain him while hitting.  It is important that you allow him to enjoy the game at this stage.  If you can keep him playing for the next few years you are winning.

Lobbing Tactics

If you get pushed back from the table don't just give up the point. Try and and get back into the rally. By lobbing the ball high and deep you give yourself time to get into position. If you can then get some topspin on the ball to force the smasher further away from the table then you are likely to get a weaker smash and then you can take your chance and try to counter attack!
